Jakd: Level Up Your Fitness Your notes app is not a workout tracker. We get it — you've been logging sets in a spreadsheet, a notes app, or that crumpled paper in your gym bag. It worked. Sort of. But did it ever give you XP for hitting a PR? Did it rank you up for staying consistent? Did it make leg day feel like a boss fight? Jakd did. Jakd does. Jakd will. EVERY REP HAS A SCORE Log your sets — weight, reps, bodyweight, duration, distance, and more — and earn Gains (that's XP, but cooler). Hit a personal record? Bonus Gains. Stay consistent for a week? Your multiplier goes up because you're an athlete now. RANK UP OR STAY RAW Climb the ranks from Raw to Jakd. Your Daily Gains Ring tracks your progress in real-time. Think of it as your gym rep score that actually means something. ROUTINE PROGRESSION & DECAY Build custom templates and watch your routines rank up the more you use them. But be warned: skip too many sessions and your routines will decay. Your routine is judging you (lovingly). GHOST MODE (PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD) No guesswork. Your last session's numbers show up as ghost values so you always know exactly what to beat. SOCIAL FEED & LEADERBOARDS Follow your squad, share your workouts, and fight for the top of the weekly leaderboard. Nothing motivates like seeing your friend out-lift you on a Tuesday. AI SPOTTER — YOUR POCKET COACH Need a program? Stuck on an exercise? Ask the AI Spotter. Powered by advanced models, it’s your coach, programmer, and motivator rolled into one. APPLE HEALTH INTEGRATION Jakd seamlessly syncs with Apple Health. Import your steps, active energy, and historical workouts to get a complete picture of your fitness journey and earn XP for all your activity. FREE TO START Log unlimited workouts and save up to 3 templates for free. Eligible Free users aged 18 or older may see banner ads while browsing Home and workout templates.

GymTime AI

Your AI trainer that knows your gym. GymTime AI plans your week, logs your sets, and swaps exercises when you need it. It uses the real machines at your gym. Just tell it your goal and your training days. Then show up and lift. WHY GYMTIME IS DIFFERENT Most workout apps give you a random session or a generic list of exercises. GymTime builds a full week of training around the equipment you actually have. No squat rack at your gym? No problem. The plan only uses what you can find. A FULL WEEK, NOT JUST ONE WORKOUT - Monday to Sunday, ready before you walk in - Built around 200+ machines and 60+ free-weight lifts - Real exercises on your real equipment - Goals: hypertrophy, strength, fat loss, or general fitness - Train 3, 4, or 5 days a week ONE-TAP SET LOGGING - The app remembers your last weight and reps - No typing during your set - Auto-complete when you hit your target - Works fast, even with sweaty hands AI COACH THAT REALLY HELPS - Ask for a shorter session today - Ask to swap an exercise if a machine is taken - Ask for a 3-day split instead of 4 - Type in plain English, the plan updates - Honest about limits: it is software, not a personal trainer. No medical advice. MADE FOR YOUR GYM - Pick the machines you have in onboarding - Swap a machine without breaking the week - Setup notes for the tricky ones - Tested in Planet Fitness, LA Fitness, hotel gyms, and most EU chains LIFE GETS IN THE WAY. THE PLAN ADAPTS. - Pause the plan with one tap when you travel or get sick - After a long break, the first week starts lighter so you can ease back - Miss a day? Nothing breaks. - One simple reminder the day before each session SIX LANGUAGES FROM DAY ONE English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Romanian SIMPLE PRICING - 7-day free trial - $39.99 per year after that (about $3.33 a month) - One price unlocks everything: planner, logger, AI coach, all languages - No hidden tiers, no upsells inside the app - Cancel anytime in your App Store account GymTime AI is an independent app made by a small team in Europe. It is not a medical device. It is not a social network. It is a planner, a logger, and a coach that stays out of your way so you can train. Subscriptions renew automatically until you cancel. Manage anytime in your App Store account. Privacy policy: https://gymtimeai.com/privacy Terms: https://gymtimeai.com/terms
